It seems that now the planes that have LGB can not use them, F-4, A-7, F-16, A-10. What happened?

Do not tell me that I have to update the java code for all....

If yes, pls create a template for fast cloning, example F-16A extends F_16Laser (and F_16Laser extends F_16)

[western0221]

ah....if possible 10x, i see a B-36 3d around here 

Now I'm trying to add 10x engines' implements ....

It needs more engine select / unselect keybinds like stock #1-#6 or modded #7-#8.
Total 6x new keys will be needed, perhaps.
And smart axis or some other internal expansions have to be reworked.
I have to take care compatibility and bugs.
Some days ....

And also reported helicopter + carriers bug fix etc.

[western0221]

And also reported helicopter + carriers bug fix etc.

I check helicopter + carriers ..... finally I decide that's caused by each helicopters' 3d bugs.
AH-1 and some other choppers miss some _ClipXX hooks or some collisions necessary.

I prepare the game folder 4.12.2m + Modact5.3 + Weapon pack + AH-1 ..... (No Engine mod, No JetEra) .....
AH-1 can fly from air-start or ground-start ..... but cannot spawn on carriers or land to carriers.

With correct 3d elements, Bell 47 and Mi-24V can spawn on carriers and land to carriers.

Thank you Western.

New version 2.8.7 is released in 1st - 2nd posts.
(2.8.6 is skipped)

Many updates are done around RWR and Radar , Missiles , AI behaviors.
Each feature descriptions will be written later.

[western0221]

Description about version 2.8.7

Fixing Engine MOD 2.7 bugs
- "Radar Range Minus" key bind's internal number duplication.

Fixing old 2.7.x / 2.8.x version bugs
- Heavy Jets keep their waypoints altitude and speed set. (fixed 26/Jul./2018)

Air refuel tankers maybe OK to follow mission waypoints.
AI interprets waypoints' speed value as IAS (from stock). So, when you want AI to fly in 550km/h TAS on 4000m (in example), its waypoint speed value has to be written around 410.

New feature
- 10x engines plane support is added. (26/Jul./2018)
- Modern Jets (having special flag enabled in FM file) AI make 360 degrees Over head Approach in narrow radius when landing waypoint is set Short-Left / Short-Right. A bit buggy. (26/Jul./2018)
- Supersonic Jets AI use Afterburner in Normal waypoints when its speed is supersonic range or need to go-over Sound barrier. (26/Jul./2018)
- Heavy planes' wheel brakes are made stronger. (26/Jul./2018)
- Multirole Fighter Jets AI choose dive attack or level bombing in enabling a new flag value in each aircraft classes , for guided bombs. (26/Jul./2018)
- Interface of TypeSACLOS is ready for TOW missile. (26/Jul./2018)

Over head Approach --- A-4 ver0.9.4 and F/A-18C/D ver4.0.m99 have OHA values in each FMs. Sorry only WIP and not smooth.

Multirole Fighter Jets AI --- A-4 ver0.9.4 and F/A-18C/D ver4.0.m99 have flag value changing codes in each java classfiles. F/A-18C/D with both LGB (or JDAM) + unguided ZUNI loadouts ..... first do level bombing and next dive attack.

TypeSACLOS --- only interface, no real working codes.

Supersonic flight and stronger wheel brakes --- automatic decision for all existing planes. Tu-95 with medium fuel can stop on 1000m runway.

With SAS Engine MOD 2.8.7 the game does not start. with SAS Engine MOD 2.8.5 works

On the plus side Paveways on the USMC family are now following the laser tracker properly

[western0221]

Old Missile.class also makes conflicts. Check 1C8CA74ED09F70F4 , 8A7D32CCADFC28DC , 26AB556A169AE702 , 16538F18B6A41E40 , FBF92726A3A9E5F8 and delete old files.


Ship Extension Mod (ShipAIMod) has to be updated when installed.
I'll publish its new version soon in Ships section.

Thanks Westy; the CTDs with the A4s was fixed.

Still getting various java code errors experimenting with the different jets:

Aside from these usual teething troubles, defiantly a major improvement overall.

Appreciate the continued work, as usual.

What is the enemy Jet when you face this error on F/A-18C ?

The error message looks like that enemy side Jet codes are too old and not having compatibility in this 9 months.

[TeamFlyingAce162]

Westy:

Can't remember off the top of my head; at the moment all the CTDs I'm having are from the com.maddox.il2.objects.weapons.Missile.setMissileVictim(Missile.java:1453) series of java errors.

I've run pretty much every combination of US jets that I can (USMC pack, F-16s, -4s, -8s, even the older A-6s). CTD occurs 1-3sec after AI pilots engage eachother.

Player-flown ACs can fire AIM-9s/7s/120s all day at Hornets and they just cruise along popping countermessures. On the other hand if the player orders AI wingman to attack game CTDs.

If I find the old jet code I'll first reinstall that plane and report back.

EDIT/Sidenote: I haven't dived into testing the Soviet jets yet.
